The Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs announced its free summer concert lineup for The Jay Pritzker Pavilion within Millennium Park. This year we get four series: the electronic and new music heavy Loops and Variations, indie rock star studded Downtown Sound, the classical-leaning Grand Park Music Festival, and Made in Chicago: World Class Jazz.

I like the line-up for the summer but it is not complete. The brochure I picked up has more info. What about July 4 in the afternoon. There has been a concert in the afternoon and it is not in the brochure. We always go to Chicago Historical for theirs and then hike over to Mil.Park for the afternoon. My friends and I really enjoyed the past years.
Once you had reserved seating in the public area and it was really a bad idea with so many people getting very angry and the ushers had to take their abuse. Please don't do that again in the general seating,
